2. Girly it Up:
Your place is YOUR place. Don’t worry about taking your pink, animal print or
girlyness down a notch when you have a guy over. My bathroom is as girly as
girly gets and no one has complained about it or ever insisted on not using it.

3. TV Shows: Save those for you and your girlfriends, just
as you did before.

4. Waiting Around. Not going out on a girls night because he might try and make
plans with you is unnecessary. You shouldn’t wait around for a boy when you can
be hanging with the girls.

5. Taking the Lead. It’s tempting to lean on a man to make decisions – and so
he should, when it comes to where he wants to take you to dinner. But you were
capable of buying a bed without his opinion and you still are.

Over the weekend I was invited to a BBQ and asked if I could
bring dessert. It posed the perfect opportunity for me to try a recipe for
vegan cookies. The recipe is super versatile you can use it as a base for a
range of different cookies (chocolate chip, snickerdoodle….etc).Also I didn’t tell anyone they were
vegan and they chowed them.

5.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or up to 24
hours.
6. Remove from the refrigerator and scoop onto a cookie sheet.
7. Freeze each cookie sheet of balls for 10 minutes before baking.
8. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes or until golden.

My BFF and I both found ourselves single this summer and
instead of searching for “love” we decided to embark on epic summer adventures.
We also create a super versatile mix filled with different genres and decades
to keep things interesting and I just had to share it with you.

Guys should know that they’ve hit the jackpot when they date a girl that loves her dog. She’s energetic, friendly, loyal and playful just like her furry counterpart. However they may realize they have some four-pawed competition for ruv.

1. She often shares her bed with someone else. 2. She will tell you she has a child or she has to get home to her “baby” 3. Guys don’t just have the parents to impress, but the pup as well 4. Someone else is always on her mind 5. He realizes you pack more for your dog than yourself. 6. “Family” photos always include the pup 7. There’s always a third wheel for movie night 8. Recipes tend to be dog friendly 9. He needs to realize he will always have an extra house guest 10. He will never have full cuddle custody

Recently I went paddle boarding (SUPing) for the first time and absolutely LOVED it. You would not believe what an incredible workout it is. My core and arms were burning for days. Have you ever gone SUPing?

This year I wanted to take full advantage of summer –
including trying new things, meeting new people and plenty of road trips. As a
result my blog has been left a little neglected but I can assure you I’m back
with some fab content to come. Follow me on Instagram to keep update with what
I’m up to!
